This opinion piece coins the term “neo-casteism” but fails to back it up with concrete evidence. Where are the specific examples? Which universities? The author relies on sweeping unsubstantiated accusations rather than documented incidents.
The Supreme Court called the UGC guidelines “vague” and “capable of misuse” – legitimate legal concerns that deserve engagement. Instead, the author dismisses this as upper-caste fearmongering without actually analyzing what the regulations said or why they might be problematic.
The “symphony orchestra” metaphor assumes every objection to these guidelines is coordinated bad faith. This leaves no room for genuine disagreement about policy design. Not everyone who questions these regulations is trying to maintain caste dominance.
After decades of reservations, scholarships, and support programs, where’s the accountability? What’s improved? What hasn’t? Why? The author offers no metrics, just demands for more amd more without acknowledging what already exists.
Most troubling aspect is this: She stereotypes upper-caste students and faculty as inherently discriminatory while criticizing stereotyping. That’s hypocrisy, plain and simple
When 81% of the SC/ST Act cases are against OBCs, why were they put in protected category?
And you have the audacity to label, the minority GCs which are guilty of a smaller percentage of cases, as neo-casteist? You are simply a bigot, indulging in gaslighting.
We aren’t even addressing the creamy layer problem, where one caste each in OBC, SC and ST, are cornering most of the seats. The politically powerless unreseved castes, are not willing to take other people’s culpability. Look into your own.
And atleast the SC/ST act was targeting adults who will somehow manage. But you want to target our children, and that will not be tolerated.
We are not fooled by your gaslighting. People like you are the problem.
For proponents who claim to follow the well educated Babasaheb Ambedkar , it does not behove well to indulge in name calling and sitckering label of “neo casteist”. The funny thing is the so called “neo casteist” position has been accepted by the honorable Supreme Court too. It is advisable to present generation youth like the writer herself to indulge in deep intellectual exercise when it comes to legislative matters rather than election rally style jingoist name calling. A fair and equitable society tries to reduce discrimination against every class and not just a few. That is what Babasaheb wanted too. Lest the writer wants the same old divisive casteist trope to exist few generations down the line but with the tables turned. Historic atrocities has a shelf life, it is not forever. Especially when modern day classrooms are progressing beyond such casteist poison.
If this person was not a communist living in their communist echo chamber they would have taken the effort to read what countless amounts of research and what the so called “Neo casteist” side was talking about.
What the UGC notification was going to do was increase caste based division. If you think otherwise then you are a very stupid person. In a country where divorce/rape laws are misused do you really have the audacity to come and tell – “no one is going to misuse them”.
This was only going to create caste wars amongst all kinds of caste – OBCs vs OBCs, General vs SC, SC vs SC, ST vs OBCs etc. This lady is part of the larger 5th column who wants to see Hindu society divided because it benefits the Congress and their allies. Don’t believe me – look at what SP leader said in a recent debate – they are going to fight UP elections based on caste politics.
These kind of people are enemy to the Hindu society. This what a 5th column looks like.
The print team is a bunch of tools who like to delete and moderate comments just like this country does with its free speech. TBH free speech doesn’t exist on right or left in this country so its important to talk about it and point it out.
Also, one question – what was the RSS founder primary reason for launching this organization ? This lady is going to distort the history so let me set the facts straight – it was to unite the Hindu society which was fragmented because of caste fossilization which the British and people like her were successful in doing.
Such loads of BS in this article. Seriously this is what victimhood epistemology looks like.
Your intention is not to remove caste from the society but it’s too make sure that it remains so that you can blame all your problems on that factor.
We will make a caste blind society whether you like it or not. Also RSS was started because of the fragmentation of the society in the name of caste. Obviously a delusional Marxist would not know that.
Seriously we wont let you divide the society anymore. Also let’s look at the facts – how many percentage of caste based atrocities towards SC/ST is done by OBCs ? – 86%. As someone who comes from a so called OBC background (my caste is just categorized as one but it’s absolute BS just like the caste system which is why when our income rose we became the creamy layer and were pushed towards general category which is great)
No one other than you lefty friends in the communist bloc or the ambedakarites are going to fall for this trap.
